THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
I can see the anger in your eyes just as I can feel your pain, Ertuğrul Bey.
Vasilius used Ural to stain the Cavdar tribe with blood.
He lured many of the Turk tribes' bravest warriors to his cause.
And now, Aliyar...
He must be avenged, my sultan.
Taking Vasilius' head or Karacahisar Castle
would not prove difficult for our army.
But if I take the castle,
both the Crusaders and the emperor will get involved.
As I have understood, from my discussions
with the people when I was going by the name of Ebu Mansur,
you've managed to conquer the hearts of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
I have upheld the duty bestowed upon us by God, my Sultan.
I have carried out your orders for our state.
I know you want to secure the western border, my sultan.
When you have gone to war, we will carry out your orders
and keep this area secure.
Speak frankly, Ertuğrul Bey.
We're capable of taking Karacahisar Castle
and sending Vasilius' head to the emperor.
You need only believe in the unity of the Turkish beys
as you believe in me.
You're telling me you can take Karacahisar without an army?
Not only can we take it, my sultan,
we can keep the land surrounding it secure afterwards too.
I know the weaknesses of the emperor in Nicaea.
I'm also aware of the greed of the Latins in Constantinople.
Do you think you can manage to keep the peace with only your alps?
We've been training our alps like an army for some time now.
I have my best alps training them.
Not a day goes by without them training.
The emperor has sent his best men to drive us from these lands.
You managed to kill them all and enter the castle.
You rescued your brother Dündar from the hands of Vasilius.
More have been sent, elite soldiers.
Their intention is obvious, my sultan.
But I am still convinced
I can take Karacahisar Castle.
My brave warrior...
He won't be long now.
When he comes with that beautiful face...
I'll see you once again.
May I come in?
Of course, Mother.
No, no, sit down. Sit down.
I wanted to see you before I went to bed. How are you?
I'm fine, thank you, Mother.
Halime Sultan has had her baby.
I have everything I need.
At last.
Soon you too will have your baby in your arms, God willing.
Doğan's child will run around and play with my own grandchildren one day.
He'll ride horses and wield swords, God willing.
God willing, Mother.
They will be alps worthy of their fathers, and of their ancestors.
God willing.
I hope he'll be born soon.
I want to entrust Doğan's child to you and Ertuğrul Bey.
What do you mean by that, Banu Çiçek?
We set out to claim these lands for our children, Mother Hayme.
We lost so many along the way. Doğan was martyred close to Ertuğrul Bey.
Aliyar Bey fights for his life.
Those who are holding swords will consider martyrdom in this fight.
The motherland awaits us. Man or woman, it doesn't matter.
-Daughter, now you-- -My child is for you,
my life is for God,
and my sword is for Ertuğrul Bey to look after, Mother.
I don't want other mothers to cry,
so until Karacahisar Castle comes down on Vasilius
I won't so much as smell my child.
Look, dear...
Doğan left you in our care.
Doğan was my son.
And you're my daughter.
I think of you and Halime the same way.
Ertuğrul will make Vasilius pay, one way or another.
But your duty...
is to look after your child.
My mother.
Brother.
You were away from us for so long.
Even when you came home you couldn't rest.
You protected me after Father died.
If you go too, I won't have anybody.
Please don't leave me.
Artuk Bey, his hand moved!
God the healer! God the healer!
Aliyar Bey, can you hear me?
Sister.
Brother!
Call Ertuğrul Bey for me.
-Ishak, get Ertuğrul Bey here, quickly. -Right away.
At last. Praise God.
Vasilius has spent a lot of time fortifying the castle walls.
He's preparing it for war.
But all he's done is wall himself in with the anger he feels for me.
Any reputation he had among his own people has been tarnished and lost.
With patience and cunning, I can take the head of Vasilius,
trapped as he is by his own rage and folly.
I'll raise our glorious flag above the walls of Karacahisar Castle.
You can leave with your army and with your mind at ease, my sultan.
May I enter?
Go on.
Ertuğrul Bey, do we have your permission to enter?
Come in, Mother.
We wanted to show our gratitude to Ebu Mansur.
I am humbled. We were just passing by.
You saved our men. God bless you.
Thank you. What are their names?
My eldest son is Gündüz.
We haven't named the baby yet.
My father, Suleyman Shah, wanted him to be called Savci.
But I'd like you to name him.
I would be honored.
Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar.
There is no god but God.
Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
Hasten to the prayer. Hasten to the prayer.
Hasten to the salvation. Hasten to the salvation.
Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar.
God is the only god.
Your name is Savci.
Your ancestor Suleyman Shah gave you your name. God grant you a long life.
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen.
May the angels above...
and the servants below know that from now on...
your name is Savci.
-May I enter, my bey? -Come in, Ishak.
-Salaam-Alaikum. -Alaikum-Salaam.
My bey, Aliyar Bey is awake. He wants to see you.
At last!
At last.
Allahu akbar.
Peace of God be upon you.
I lived as a traveler in this world.
Thank God that my fate was to...
be martyred fighting for his cause.
Brother!
Brother...
Ertuğrul Bey...
Aliyar Bey?
Ertuğrul Bey.
Come closer.
Let me see you one last time.
There's something I must say.
Don't waste your energy, Aliyar Bey.
It's time to leave this life...
behind, Ertuğrul Bey.
My sister and my tribe...
are yours to look after.
You have to take Karacahisar...
and avenge our...
fallen warriors.
Ertuğrul Bey...
Give me your blessing.
Aliyar Bey...
I'm so glad to have been able to fight by the side of a warrior like you.
I'll continue down our path, never resting.
Both your will and your requests are written on my heart.
But don't give up.
Don't leave me alone on this journey.
You'll be all right.
Brother! Brother!
Artuk Bey! Artuk Bey, help him!
Brother, no!
There is no god but God...
and Muhammad is the Messenger...
and the servant of God.
Oh God.
No! Brother, please!
No! No!
No!
We have delivered to your peace our warriors who died
for our faith and country. Give them peace, God.
Grant your people patience, God.
Heal our wounded quickly, God.
Deliver us from all kinds of enemies, within or beyond,
who would disturb our faith, state and nation.
Grant victory to our noble resistance
as it fights for justice and righteousness, God.
For the sake of our martyrs
please accept our prayers.
Grant them safe passage to heaven, God.
You grant justice.
You are the all-powerful.
Amen. Amen.
Ve selamun alel murselin velhamdulillahi rabbil alemin.
Al Fatiha.
Salaam-Alaikum, sir.
Alaikum-Salaam.
Ertuğrul Bey awaits you.
Let's go, Abdurrahman.
Let us carry out our last duty to our martyrs.
Mother.
I'll come too.
-Daughter. -I must be there for Aslıhan.
Brother.
You were my life.
You were more than my life.
My brave brother.
Avenge my brother, Ertuğrul Bey.
The alps of my tribe are at your command.
As am I.
I swear that I will drown Vasilius in the blood of our martyrs.
Look after the Cavdar tribe, Aslıhan Hatun.
Stay strong.
Stay strong so that the people and the alps can share in your strength.
Now...
it's time to unite to carry out Aliyar Bey's final wishes.
Brother.
Aliyar Bey...
is with God, my sultan.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
You didn't hesitate to risk your lives for my state.
You lost many.
Aliyar Bey has also been martyred for my state.
I must avenge him, Ertuğrul Bey.
The emperor is the snake and Vasilius is its venom.
The head of the snake must be cut off.
We would gladly sacrifice our lives for our state, my sultan.
Your words and what I have seen of you,
what I know of your deeds in these lands,
have already convinced me, Ertuğrul Bey.
You succeeded in uniting the Turk tribes.
This united force must now take Karacahisar.
Call a council before I return to Konya.
I want to see the beys myself so that I may declare you their leader.
I know that you will avenge our martyrs.
When Karacahisar is conquered, I will grant you these lands.
The territory of the glorious Kayi will be a land of justice
for Turk tribes and non-Muslims alike.
May God not give you shame in this endeavor.
Amen.
The Quran will be our guide, Alaeddin Keykubat Khan, our sultan,
and Oghuz Han, our ancestor. May Allah help and protect us.
Our lives are lived for your state.
May God not give us shame before our martyrs.
Ertuğrul , Aliyar, Aslıhan.
Let me see the day they all die, God.
Let me accomplish my final duty in this castle in which I'm entombed.
Let me kill that dog, Vasilius.
May my hands be covered with his dirty blood.
After that, even hell will be heaven for me.
-Salaam-Alaikum. -Alaikum-Salaam.
Alaikum-Salaam.
Al Fatiha, for the soul of our martyr.
I seek refuge in God from the cursed Satan.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Our prophet says that
seeing the angel of death is worse than being pierced by a thousand swords.
But there is no death for believers.
Death is merely a migration for them.
And when a believer is martyred he will not be questioned.
We all knew Aliyar Bey when he was alive.
We are all witness to the fact that he was a good Muslim and a fair Bey.
May God grant us martyrdom,
may he allow us to give our lives for him.
Amen.
-Amen. -Amen.
If a land is to be a motherland, it needs sacrifice.
Our sacrifice is the blood of our many martyrs.
God, do not let the descendants of the martyrs who settled here
leave your path.
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen.
Make our descendants responsible, and make them good Muslims.
Amen.
-Amen. -Amen.
I'm ready to go.
You were wasted on the Turks, Ekaterina.
I'll be whoever I want to be.
I'm doing what's necessary.
You're doing even more.
You're going to find out who Ebu Mansur is.
And if he's Alaeddin?
Then we'll have a treasure.
-Sir. -Speak.
I have news that you should hear.
Speak!
Our scouts say a convoy left the Kayi tribe for the Cavdar tribe.
They're transporting a coffin on a cart.
I told you he wouldn't live long.
May you suffer, Aliyar.
This is only a fraction of the pain we're going to make them feel, Ekaterina.
A fraction.
I won't stop until there's nobody left to mourn them.
That cart will not stay empty. One will die before another is mourned.
-You're so-- -So angry, Vasilius.
I refuse to show mercy to anyone who has hurt me.
Get on with it, then.
Allahu akbar. There is no god but God.
Welcome, emir.
Where is Ertuğrul Bey?
Aliyar Bey has died.
They went to the Cavdar tribe to bury him.
We're going to the Cavdar tribe.
